This is worse than flu?
You've just described my Dad. I've had the same conversation with him over and over again. If anyone mentions how shit the response has been he'll challenge you to name anything they could have done better. Which is followed by a list of things they could, and should, have done better which he will ignore.
My Mum on the other hand, a lifelong Daily Mail reading Conservative voter, thinks they've done an appauling job. Oddly despite thinking Starmer wouldn't do any better she was full of praise for Burnham and thinks Sultana is the best MP she's ever had!
When people say that I assume they don't mean that its like the flu more that we can't stay locked up forever and there comes a point where between vaccines and treatment the deaths are similar to those we see annually with flu. Maybe I'm giving people too much credit.When they say live with covid like flu ,it won't quite be like that will it?
You would still need to be worried for family members thst it might kill them? Vaccine or no vaccine?
I'm actually quite surprised at that. We're going to need a lot of stock for peoples 2nd dose coming up soon and the weekly average has been dropping due to supply issues. I thought they'd just move on to 2nd doses now.Can't see anything official but seeing a lot of social media posts saying from Monday anyone over 50 can book online to have their jab at Stoneleigh. No need to wait for an invite.

Sultana has said some odd things in her youth. What the two new MPs in Coventry have shown, however, is how much we were crying out for some energy from the incumbents (especially Robinson!) and how new blood could, in the long run, be the best thing for the long-term strength of Labour in Coventry, however close they came to losing the seats last time out.You've just described my Dad.

Yep. Have to resign ourselves that there will always be a risk from Covid. We just need to get to a stage where it's a rare event indeed that it knocks you out (or over!) completely.I think it’s more the point we won’t get to 0 COVID, thanks to mutations and the like there’s always be some level around. Hopefully like most viruses those mutations make it less deadly as well.
Going by a lot of the people I know, we’ll be waiting a long time.I know that feeling all to well. My nan is the same. Doesn't matter what you throw at her, she won't hear it. As horrible as this sounds, I don't think we can do anything about it till a certain age bracket starts to pass.
7 day moving average for daily deaths lowest since start of November and heading south quick

I don't want it to be a free-for-all post-Covid until everyone who wants a vaccine has had a vaccine. I don't fancy a risk of hospitalisation because some people will want to carry on as normal, because they've either been vaccinated, or consider themselves super-low risk, or deny the severity of the disease.All the data shows that finally were getting on top of this and rapidly.
So why do i still see bell ends on social media demanding lockdown continues for years? Pathetic
The weather helps immensely! Looking forward to a nice long walk this weekend.Took my grandson to the park today.
Really noticeable how cheerful everyone was. Few random strangers stopped for a chat.
I think the upturn in the weather plus the success of the vaccination.program has really boosted people.
Still a long way to go and I worry what will happen to the already dire job market when furlough ends but it was nice to everyone in a good mood.
You’d like to think that the job market will bounce back quite quickly, I work with UK companies on the side and things are definitely picking up digitally.Took my grandson to the park today.

35% lower deaths today than this time last week
I wondering that myself. The market is either going to boom as everyone goes crazy buying stuff etc from being locked up for almost a year or we're going to see many stay away for good as they've adjusted to a new normality.Took my grandson to the park today.

Do feel they may be getting this priorty slightly wrong on the next roll out

Asthmatics i feel have a right to be a bit peeved.
I think they should crack on with doing it in age blocks. It will just slow things down pissing about finding out what job people do before inviting them for their jab. Why change what appears to be a winning formula.
To be fair I can see both sides of it. But I'm a key worker, but I currently work from home and haven't seen anyone for weeks.
I'm one example of how much of a convoluted mess it could turn into.
Yea i suppose, point proven.
I think I'm still pissed off being promised the jab by now and then not, being an asthmatic.
If i dont have my preventer in the morning or at night I'm wheezier than Yakubu and need my blue one. Concerns me that i struggle to breathe without medication yet me and millions of others are apparently alright to be vaccinated last against a respiratory illness
Agree about asthmatics. I thought they should’ve gone ahead of 40-49 group. They’ve split the severity and set quite a high bar by all accounts. Hopefully you’ll get yours soon enough anyway
